Default Front Lip Damaged by DVD Player

Was driving on the way home from work one night and I hit what looked like an extended dvd player with some sort of receiver attached to it.

Its an evo-r mines lip.

Definitely fixable.

Probably won't be perfect...

You can either get it all sanded down and re-cleared or just paint the whole thing. Either way it appears that some of the carbon fibers are messed up where the impact is, and it will never look as good as it did

I think you could mend it however it won't look exactly the same. Luckily though it's on a part of the car that probably won't get noticed too much if it's not exactly perfect.

Well this is fortunate news. Had a member pm recently, says he should be able to take care of it. I'll keep an update and post any before and after pics if I go through with it.
